The Carers’ Support Service will be in attendance at Saturday’s game to promote the work that they do in North East Lincolnshire as part of our mental health initiative supported by the Premier League Fans Fund.
The Carers’ Support Service is the main port of call for Carers in North Eastern Lincolnshire, offering a range of free and confidential support, practically or emotionally to those that are in need.
A Carer is defined as someone who provides unpaid necessary care by looking after a family member, friend, child or partner, who is ill, frail, disabled, has a mental health problem or substance misuse problem, who could not otherwise manage without your support.
You may need to help with bathing, toileting, grocery shopping, paying bills, and doctors’ appointments or just be there on the other end of the phone for reassurance.
The Carers’ Support Service can offer a range of services to support carers from emotional support and counselling to workshops and workshops and training.
They also have carers groups and substance misuse support available as well as the ability to offer support when you come to the end of your caring role.
